Dear My Fellow Readers,
Hello, My Fellow Readers! You're now reading my stories of AD HASS LS3 class. You can see my reflection on my works during the class, my journals, and my final thoughts about what I learned in the class in this portfolio. Each part of this portfolio is carefully designed, arranged, and written by me. Even the editor of this portfolio is made by me. Please enjoy every part of this portfolio. For example, feel the design inspired by Salvador Dali's works, especially 'The Persistence of Memory'. I put my heart and inspiration into each and every design, including the texture of oil paintings, color combinations inspired by his works, and fonts that capture Dali's luxuriousness. I hope you can feel my sincerity.
I hope you enjoy reviewing my progress throughout this semester.Hello, My Fellow Readers! You're now reading my stories of AD HASS LS3 class.

TASK 01
PRESENTATION 01
In my first presentation, I was able to learn how to manage team projects. My first presentation was about the domino effect. Our team covered the domino effect and its examples such as Heinrich's domino theory, the Vietnam War, and nuclear dominoes. My personal impression of the first presentation was that it was disappointing. I tried to use Notion to systematically manage my projects, but ultimately, it seemed to have failed. Also, my original improvisational, stand-up comedic presentation style differs significantly from academic presentation style at university, so I'm working on it, but I still feel like I have a lot of room for improvement.As the team leader for the first presentation, I utilized Notion to allocate tasks and set deadlines. The process required members to work independently, after which I merged the deliverables. Prior to the presentation, we conducted research and drafted the script. The slides were finalized by the Friday prior, and we convened at the library to plan our delivery strategy. Ultimately, we memorized our parts and showed our presentation.

TASK 02
PRESENTATION 02
Through the second presentation, I realized that I have a lot of room for improvement. In particular, I noticed that my pronunciation seems to be deteriorating. Until high school, I was often told that I was a good speaker with clear pronunciation, but I seem to have lost those skills while focusing entirely on college entrance exams. I am still comfortable with improvisational, 'stand-up comedy' style speaking, but my skills in formal academic presentations are currently in poor shape. My speaking ability has recovered slightly, but it is still not quite where I want it to be. Inspired by news about Palantir and Anduril, I chose 'AI as a Weapon' as my topic. I created the presentation using an application I developed myself for a major assignment (I am actually building this portfolio with it as well). However, because the app lacked some detailed implementation, editing was difficult, and the features didn't run as smoothly as I hoped during the actual presentation. To make matters worse, due to exam week and other assignments, I finished the script late and couldn't memorize it properly. As a result, the presentation didn't go very well. I received feedback on my pronunciation afterwards, and upon self-reflection, I felt regretful that I couldn't deliver it as fluently as I intended.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I could learn the culture of USA, speaking skills, and listening skills through this class. To be honest, the class wasn't easy. Note taking in english was extremely hard for me at the first time. But now I use those skills when I study my major at Google Skills . So , I'm proud of my self about what I learned in this class and I think they are very useful and helpful for me.
I would polish my speaking skills, listening skills, and note taking skills for my academic growth. I want to become an AI expert with global influence, and to achieve that, I believe English listening, speaking, and note-taking skills are crucial. So, for now, I'll continue to develop these skills by taking online English classes, taking notes, and practicing speaking to myself.
If you ask me 'Do you think your english skills would improve?', I would say 'yes'. I can improve those skills. Actually, I should improve those skills to achieve my dream. Thank you for reading my portfolio.
